The Statue of Liberty was damaged by shrapnel in The Black Tom explosion at Jersey City, NJ in 1916.
The explosion on Black Tom island was not a munitions factory, but at a shipping facility near the Statue of Liberty, and was caused by sabotage. It was one of the worst acts of terrorism on US soil. In today's currency, it would have caused $ 433 million in damages, killed at least 7 people, damaged the Statue of Liberty, caused the evacuation of Ellis island, etc.
The black colour represents the symbol of justic. And the black cover on the eye represents that the Indian law sees everyone ith justice. That's why the statue of law wears a black cloth on it's eye in Indian court.

yes the original Statue of Libertyis a slave. However there was a difference, the statue in France is Black. The Statue of Liberty was originally a Black woman, but, as memory serves, it was because the model was Black.In a book called "The Journey of The Songhai People", according to Dr. Jim Haskins, a member of the National Education Advisory Committee of the Liberty-Ellis Island Committee, professor of English at the University of Florida, and prolific Black author, points out that what stimulated the original idea for that 151 foot statue in the harbor.He says thats what stimulated the idea for the creation of the statue initially was the part that Black soldiers played in the ending of Black African Bondage in the United States. It was created in the mind of the French historian Edourd de Laboulaye, chairman of the French Anti-Slavery Society, who, together with sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi,proposed to the French government that the people of France present to the people of the United States through the American Abolitionist Society, the gift of a Statue of Liberty in recognition of the fact that Black soldiers won the Civil War in the United States.It was widely known then that it was Black soldiers who played the pivotal role in winning the war, and this gift would be a tribute to their prowess. Suzanne Nakasian, director of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island Foundations' National Ethnic Campaign said that the Black Americans' direct connection to Lady Liberty is unknown to the majority of Americans, BLACK or WHITE.When the statue was presented to the U.S. Minister to France in 1884, it is said that he remonstrated that the dominant view of the broken hackles would be offensive to a U.S. South, because since the statue was a reminder of Blacks winning their freedom. It was a reminder to a beaten South of the ones who caused their defeat, their despised former captives.Documents of Proof:1.)
